Size: 1/2"
There were at least 20 of these tiny grasshoppers flying around sunny areas on the dirt trail. Is this one a baby? It looks developed, but the weather has just warmed up recently.

Neat--moved to guide
I moved this to the guide for the family. If Tom has photos directly overhead, that might help get the genus. One reference (Helfer) has some useful keys.
